I feel like there needs to be a splinter group in here for the moms who are much more laid back....I read a lot of these posts and just can't relate - divorcing your husband because he gave the kids ice cream, refusing to let family members hold your baby, etc. There have to be more chill moms out there, right? I tried joining some of the other boards, but they aren't as active. For the record, I am a 38 year old FTM and work full time. Married for 2 years with a baby boy. Anybody else out there just laughing things off? Not over analyzing every word said to you? I'd love to know I am not the only one...**Disclaimer - I'm not saying people shouldn't post whatever they want, just looking to connect with people who take things more lightly**

Yeah I feel like I am pretty laid back haha but I found out I was pregnant by surprise 3 months into being married (and only 3 months after having sex for the first time) so I had to just go with the flow for this last year :)

Granted some nights I google every little question I have ..but overall baby is great and I am enjoying learning how to be a Mum !

I think I'll fit in, my husband and I are very laid back, no crazy schedules or anything, definitely just go with flow type parenting. I'm 30 (31 in two weeks, yikes!) FTM who works full time (1/2 of which is done at home with baby). I enjoy cooking and music and being a mom now to an amazing, healthy, happy 5.5 month old.

Agree with pp, hot topics board is a great source of entertainment for drama, and I'm known to open the threads about feeding baby solids or CIO on here (without participating) to watch the melts go down.

Lol I totally agree. When I see people posting schedules fr babies I'm telling myself damn, my son is 3 and we still have no schedule so my 4 month owl sure doesn't! I fee her when she's hungry, and she naps when she's tired, isn't that how it's supposed to be?!

I'm 31 mother of 2. I stay home with both kiddos and drink lots of wine, haha! This group does give me lots of laughs!

That Hot Topic is like Jeremy Kyle on speed! Like going for a visit on planet Mars haha!

You can tell that we're all going through the same stages with the babies. Teething, sleep regression, solids, sleep training, periods/no periods...the topics do get very repetitive so i read bits and pieces but reply to few. I'm a photo junkie so all the threads with baby photos have me coming back here. Gotta love the baby photos :-)

I'm a STM so i've actually done this whole baby thing before! But i've forgotten most of that stuff so i feel like a FTM sometimes :-P I'd be 50/50 like, chill and then go crazy and google every single baby question that pops into my head! I blame the lack of sleep for that haaa!
